Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ApplicationSpecificParser Test for ASN1TaggedObjectParser with tag class of BERTags.APPLICATION instead.
org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.asymmetric.util.DSAEncoder No longer used
org.bouncycastle.crypto.KeyEncapsulation use EncapsulatedSecretGenerator and EncapsulatedSecretExtractor
org.bouncycastle.jce.interfaces.MQVPrivateKey use MQVParameterSpec for passing the ephemeral key.
org.bouncycastle.jce.interfaces.MQVPublicKey use MQVParameterSpec for passing the ephemeral key.
org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces.StateAwareSignature it's better to avoid this and use extractKeyShard methods where possible.

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.bouncycastle.crypto.engines.AESFastEngine unfortunately this class is has a few side channel issues. In an environment where encryption/decryption may be closely observed it should not be used.
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ApplicationSpecific Will be removed. Change application code to handle as ASN1TaggedObject only, testing for the expected tag class of BERTags.APPLICATION in relevant objects before using. If using a stream parser, handle application-tagged objects using ASN1TaggedObjectParser in the usual way, again testing for a tag class of BERTags.APPLICATION.
org.bouncycastle.jcajce.BCFKSStoreParameter This class does not support configuration on creation, use BCFKSLoadStoreParameter for best results.
org.bouncycastle.asn1.BERApplicationSpecific Will be removed. See comments for ASN1ApplicationSpecific.
org.bouncycastle.asn1.BERApplicationSpecificParser Test for ASN1TaggedObjectParser with tag class of BERTags.APPLICATION instead.
